The committee was created on March 21, 1867. It was originally named the "Committee on Education and Labor," but it split into the Committee on Labor and the Committee on Education in December 1883. The two separate committees were terminated on January 7, 1947, and the Committee on Education and Labor was re-created as of that date. It has since changed its name three times before finally settling on the '''Committee on Education and the Workforce''' on January 5, 2011. The inaugural committee was chaired by John Baker.<ref>[http://edworkforce.house.gov/Committee/CommitteeHistory.htm ''Education & the Workforce Committee, Congressman John Kline, Chairman'' "Committee History" Accessed January 2012]</ref>

The United States House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce is a standing committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The committee was created on March 21, 1867. It was originally named the "Committee on Education and Labor," but it split into the Committee on Labor and the Committee on Education in December 1883. The two separate committees were terminated on January 7, 1947, and the Committee on Education and Labor was re-created as of that date. It has since changed its name three times before finally settling on the Committee on Education and the Workforce on January 5, 2011. The inaugural committee was chaired by John Baker.[1]
